Hi its 1969, just looked at the bolt again and it does look too big. Are there two different sizes of bolt dependent on year of manufacture?

Looks like it may be a bit of spatter from a weld? I will re tap and all should be OK.

Thanks

John

Mines been on for 10 minutes and not split, but looks like I will have to watch it!!

Hi

Does anyone know the thread size on the spare wheel clamp bolt? Got one from online suppliers and its too big. Did they do two different sizes?

Should it be oil or grease?

I know the manual says oil but a lot of people say grease

One goes on fairly easily the other will be a right pain to get on, this one is made of bigger gauge wire. (Def...

Hi Had the Minor now for a couple of months and well pleased with it. Went for a good run this afternoon and when we got home I had a look underneath and noticed the diff casing was warm/hot to touch. It has oil in and I wondered if this is normal or am I in for problems? There are no untoward rumbl...
